Service Time Records and Recording

Hello!!

Does anyone still have thier old service time slips? I still have all of mine dating back to when I first started counting my time! I always kept a copy for myself besides the one I turned in.

It is kinda fun to go back and see what I did back then. I even recognize the different writing styles I experemented with.

Along these lines, were any of you meticulous about keeping track of service time? I knew some people who kept track of thier time down to the minute! The older I got, the more likely I rounded up in my time, but only in 15 minutes increments.

Did you know of anyone who fudged thier time in order to keep up with the national average? I admit to doing so a couple of times. I promptly made up that time and did not count it the next month.

Curious to hear your service time tales!

Yep me! Because toward my exit I didn't care what I put down.

Shame on you Qwerty! Just kidding.

I have aquired a few new hobbies since leaving the JW's RR, but I think they are still are pretty boring for most!

Yooooooo hooooo, Noapoligies,,,where are you???????????? Did you every cheat on your time?

Confucious

C5, I never fudged it, but near the end of my pioneer days I did have only a little actual door to door time. Most of it was return visits.

I have my time books (got them from a dub biz in the midwest that sells witless stuff). I averaged 21 hours from 1991-1993. Damn, I was awesome!

Confucious,

Toward the end of my pioneering days, the majority of my time was "laundrymat-to-landrymat". I always hated service, but it got to a point where I could only bear quickly sneaking in the laundry mat and leaving the mags, making a mad dash back to the car, then slowly driving to the next laundrymat in a town far far away!

Glenmore,

Yes, if I recall, that was well above the national average back then! You should have been proud, lol!

I was talking to my X, and he told me that he would count 10 hours on his time when he never even went out at all that month! I wish I had not been such a "good jw" in my heyday. Seems lots of people got away with lying on thier time!

I am with you on that.

I never cheated on my time. But I knew someone who was never seen out during the month and would put down an exaggerated number of hours. I mean it was crazy. One month he put down well over 100 when every one knew he worked the whole month.

Btw, I do cheat now. At the end of the month I give a very rosy report. I make sure I fill in all the slots. And I laugh my head off as I hand it in.

50% of my time is laundromat

10% is house to house the

other 40% is phone service home watching TV (just between me and you all)

Wannaexit,

You name is appropriate then with your actions! It is nice you can find things that keep you laughing while having to be in the jw.

DaCheech,

I like your 40% of time spent in "service", lol! Do you do the 10 percent just so that the congregation at least thinks you legitimately go in service?
